unobserved. The Marquis of Salisbury re-
ferred to the death of Lord Iddesleigh i'll
the house of lords this evening. He said:
His death left OH my mind an impression
which can never be effaced. 1t has brought
home to me keeniy the
TRUTH OF THE REFLECTION
of what shadows we pursue. He was prob
ably more beloved than any statesman of our
time. His gentle temper, unfailing courtesy
and spirit of cheerfulness made him uni
versally appreciated.
Lord Granville followed Lord Salisbury.
He referred to the arduous labors performed
by Lord Iddeslegh while member of the
house OF commons and his great service to

Smith said that discussion of the procedure
measures would be subject only to such in

conduct of urgent business. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill entered upon an eXplana-
ton OF the reasons which led him to resign
the chancellOrship of the eXchequer He said
he retired because the governments naval
and military estimates exceeded ell, 0OO 900
without counting the large supplementary
estimates. He insisted on having these es-
Inmates reduced, but his colleagues refused
to cut them down, although" added Lord
Randolph, Il had been urging economy
ever since August" Lord Randolph then
referred to the governments foreign policy
and declared amid loud opposition cheers
L also objected to the governments policy
of needless interference in the affairs of other
nations" Continuing, Lord Randolph said
he wrote to Lord Salisbury complaining of
the excessive estimates. The premier
answered that he deemed the estimates
moderate. and referred to the danger of
war and the necessity OF protecting the
coaling stations of the empire. In conclu-
sion, Lord Randolph, whose speech of ex-
PLANTATION lasted forty minutes, quoted from
his last letter to Lord Salisbury the state
ment that he left the cabinet with regret,
but without misgiving or hesitation.
LORD RANDOLPH CHURCHILL
dwelt upon the statement that he resigned
because ne was unable to acqulesce in the
governments army and navy estimates on
account of their extravaganza. from his
point OF view, having pledged himself to
policy OF retrenchment and economy. He
was convinced, he said, that such policy
could be safely carried out. Therefore he
could not, he felt, retain place in the
government when he found his colleagues
refused to try to retrench.
The policy of this country he said, should
be peaceful everywhere. Cheers.l The
governments estimates were too great for a
time OF peace. 1t has been said that I re-
signed in haste. The fact is there were diff
entities between myself and my colleagues in
the cabinet almost from the beginning of the
present government. Cheers and laughter
AS l did not desire to remain
wrangling in the cabinet, I asked
to be allowed to retire, unless the
government expenses were reduced within
absolute peace limits. The MARQUIS of Sails
bury wrote in response to my request, de-
Tending the estimates in face of possible war,
as he said. There was no course left open for
me but to write my resignation, stating that
L declined to be party in the game for high
ard desperate stakes the other nations were
playing for, and have seen no reason since
to regret the step took. [Cheers.
